1. Are you a panster or a plotter or perhaps a bit of both?
I have always been a pantser. I never know what I’m going to write
when inspiration strikes. I just sit down at the computer and let the words
flow. I never know where I’m headed or where I’ll wind up. To me, that’s the
joy of writing fiction.
2. Which comes first - characters or plot for you?
The characters. They guide the story.
3. What are you working on now? Is this a book in a current series
or something totally new?
I just released Martimus, which is Book 5 of my Feisty
Lawyers series. My holiday short, The Last Christmas, is in final edits
at the publisher. Now I am moving on to new characters and a different
sub-genre in romance, paranormal. My next book is about a lawyer/vampire who is
targeted by a serial killer. Believe it or not, it’s a comedy! I am also toying
with a biography, as told by the subject.
4. Do you have some kind of object or place that figures in most
of your books? I use gems a lot, hospitals and caves.
Well, all of my books are built around lawyers and the law. Most
are set in Milwaukee, Chicago,or St. Louis, all places where I have worked in
law.
5. Do you write everyday or just when the spirit hits?
I not only write books, I also write for corporations and law
firms, and host a blog, so there us rarely a day I don’t write something.
6. Where can we find you?
7. Who are your favorite authors? What about a book you’ve
enjoyed?
I am fond of detective stories and especially enjoy J.D. Robb’s
(Nora Roberts) “In Death” series. I have every book in the series. I also enjoy
books by Stuart Woods, David Baldacci, and Lisa Scottoline.
